It 1 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 2 than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us. ‎ ‎ Users get final connectivity at the price of 3 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are 4 to a different way of being “alone together”.‎ ‎ Actually, 5 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 6 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot 7 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a (n) 8 . “The give and take of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 9 people.‎ Turkle mentioned the popular 10 of “I share, therefore I am” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s a mindset adopted by most 11 people. They are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a (n) 12 life. ‎ However, experts remind us that it’s 13 to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, 14 out that it is still owners of gadgets, who’re avoiding personal contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other. 15 throwing away the mobile gadgets is not a solution.” she said.‎ ‎1.

Sometimes people are surprised to see him walking 16 any shoes or socks, 17 Lucas doesn’t mind at all. 18 likes to walk barefoot, and so do 640 other members of Dirty Sole Society, the club that Lucas 19 (start) years ago. Lucas’ idea for this is to encourage others to live 20 (free) --- free of shoes.‎ According to Lucas, the barefoot life has many advantages. 21 most important is simply that it feels good. He also says 22 walking barefoot allows you to experience the world directly by touching it with your feet. 23 addition, the feet do not smell as much because they stay dry, making it hard for bacteria to grow. And, of course, 24 (walk) barefoot keeps your feet in good shape, so it’s actually 25 (healthy) than wearing shoes.‎ II 阅读(共两节，满分50分)‎ 第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)‎ ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A Linda Evans was my best friend — like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.‎ When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times — like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea about how to find Linda.‎ Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.‎ One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.‎ She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”‎ Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!‎ ‎26.

They didn’t often write to each other because they ________.‎ A. got married B. had little time to do so C. didn’t like writing letters D. could see each other on special time ‎28. There was an empty place in the writer’s heart because she ________.‎ A. was in trouble B. didn’t know Linda’s address C. received the card that she sent D. didn’t have a friend like Linda to share her happiness and sadness ‎29. The writer was happy when she ________.‎ A. read the newspaper B. heard Linda’s voice on the phone C. met a young woman who looked a lot like Linda D. wrote to the woman whose last name was Wagman ‎30. They haven’t kept in touch ________.‎ A. for about 40 years B. for about 27 years C. since they got married D. since the writer’s family moved away B Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight. ‎ Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.‎ But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.”‎ Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.‎ But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.‎ ‎31. According to the first paragraph the summer learning gap .‎ ‎ A. helps children to gain weight B. leads children to work harder ‎ C. improves children’s memories D. affects children’s regular studies ‎32. Compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones .‎ ‎ A. perform better and have more learning gains ‎ B. have much less time for relaxation every year ‎ C. have generally the same number of class days ‎ D. hold more classes with more free weeks off ‎33. Which of the following statements is true?‎ ‎ A. Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.‎ ‎ B. Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.‎ ‎ C. There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.‎ ‎ D. Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.‎ ‎34. Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?‎ ‎ A. They cherish the children’s rights of freedom very much.‎ ‎ B. They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”.‎ ‎ C. They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.‎ ‎ D. They can’t afford to the further study during vacation.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. Opening Summer Camps ‎ B. Forbidding Summer Schools ‎ C. Spreading Year-Round Education ‎ D. Minding the Summer Learning Gap ‎ C Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?‎ Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.‎ Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.‎ Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!‎ Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.‎ ‎36. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .‎ ‎ A. support online shopping B. collect answers from readers ‎ C. show his dislike of going shopping D. introduce the topic of the passage ‎37. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?‎ ‎ A. Using only trusted websites. B. Choosing big websites.‎ ‎ C. Collecting shopping evidence. D. Seeking advice from the police.‎ ‎38. What can we learn about online shopping from Para. 3?‎ ‎ A. It’s normal for a blue dress to change into green.‎ ‎ B. We shouldn't believe product descriptions easily.‎ ‎ C. It’s usually wise for us to buy colorful products.‎ ‎ D. Product appearances are sometimes not good.‎ ‎39. The author agrees with the fact that ______.‎ ‎ A. customers are never satisfied with products ‎ B. online shopping is a safe way to make purchases ‎ C. online shopping has nothing to do with global warming ‎ D. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy ‎40. What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?‎ ‎ A. Very popular. B. A wise choice. C. Not trouble free. D. A waste of time.‎ D One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child's play.‎ Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wondering outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.‎ Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it. Research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that playing in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.‎ Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage (仪式).‎ Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.‎ ‎41. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.‎ A. kids missing the sense of wondering outdoors ‎ B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached ‎ C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature ‎ ‎42. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________.‎ A. keep a high sense of wonder B. be overprotected by their parents ‎ C. be less healthy both physically and mentally ‎ D. change wild places and creatures for the better ‎ ‎43. According to the author, children's breaking an arm is ________.‎ A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up ‎ C. the result of their own carelessness in play ‎ D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers ‎ ‎44. What does “sea of technology” mean in the first paragraph?‎ A. The technology of TV and computer games.‎ B. The technology of food.‎ C. The technology of sea food.‎ D. The technology of catching animals in the sea.‎ ‎45. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________.‎ A. blame children for getting lost in computer games ‎ B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment ‎ C. show his concern about children's lack of experience in nature ‎ D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。‎ 首先，请阅读下列六本书籍的图片及相应简介：‎ A.‎ Everybody Loves Our Town：An Oral History of Grunge Music By Mark Yarm Crown Archetype ‎592 pp; $25.00‎ B.‎ The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry By Jon Ronson Riverhead；288 pp; $25.95‎ C.‎ The Red Market: On the Trail of the World’s Organ Brokers，Bone Thieves，Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers By Scott Carney Morrow; 272 pp; $25.99‎ D.‎ Car Guys vs. Bean Counters：The Battle for the Soul of American Business By Bob Lutz Portfolio; 256 pp; $26.95 ‎ E.‎ Henry Kissinger On China By Henry Kissinger Penguin Press; 608 pp; $36‎ F.‎ Biopunk：DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life By Marcus Wohlsen Current; 256 pp; $25.95‎ 以下是对这些书的描述。请将这些描述与书籍的图片及相应简介匹配起来。‎ ‎46. According to Jon Ronson, the writer of the book, psychopaths are very charming, smart, easily bored and cruel. In the book, Ronson takes readers into the fascinating world of psychopaths by speaking to the experts and having amusing conversations with the psychopaths themselves. ‎ ‎47. This book is about a deeply funny story, as well as a deeply sad story—the great Nineties moment when a bunch of punk rock bands from Seattle accidentally blew up into the world’s biggest noise. The author gives the unique chronicle (编年史) of how it all happened, and how it ended too soon. The book also makes readers appreciate how strange it was.‎ ‎48. This is just one of the terrifying everyday tales of the body trade documented. It started out extremely well, with some fascinating stories about the trade in human body parts. It covers ‎ many different aspects of the “red market”, ranging from skeletons to blood, and even the giant business of collecting and selling human hair.‎ ‎49. It’s been reported that the author has often attracted as much attention as his cars. The book is partly a biography covering a very short portion of the author’s own life—his second stint (任期) at General Motor（GM）—which recently ended after about a decade. However, it’s more than a biography. It is also a view on what went wrong with the US car industry and US industry in general.‎ ‎50. This is a great book for anyone who has an interest in science, or wants to see advances in medicine at greater rates that we’ve seen them so far. If a reader has teenagers with interests in science, he should have them read this book. It will inspire them to broaden their horizons beyond the typical research lab.‎ III 写作(共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节 基础写作（共1小题，满分15分) ‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ 目前，越来越多的青少年参加各类电视节目的才艺表演（talent shows）。对此，中学生的看法各不相同。‎ 赞 同 不 赞 同 ‎1、丰富社会经验；‎ ‎2、增强自信；‎ ‎3、全面发展。‎ ‎1、模仿多，原创少；‎ ‎2、沉迷于“明星梦”；‎ ‎3、不利于学习。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1、只能使用5个句子表达全部内容；‎ ‎2、文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结构连贯。‎ 第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。‎ A poor boy had one penny left.

What’s more, it’s good for their overall development.‎ However, other students hold the different idea that the teenagers are just imitating others rather than showing something original.
